Hint
What should an RBT do if a client suddenly starts engaging in new, dangerous behavior outside the current behavior plan?
Hint
An RBT uses partial-interval recording to track vocal outbursts. What is a key limitation of this method?
Hint

Hint
Which is not a reason an RBT would graph data?
Hint
